I've used the same EFF sticker for about 5 years now. They are great and whenever it stops sticking, I just rinse it off under warm water and let it dry. Good as new again.

Is there a way to be able to point JSPM to a different, non-github repo? A remote clone of the repo might work then.

Given you'd like to focus on functional languages and you'd also like to be productive enough to build and monetize apps as an individual, you might like and want to look into Elixir and Elm. Elm is a nice functional frontend lang

I feel much the same way as much of what you've said in this post. I'm curious what you think of things like the #NoEstimates camp that removes the ambiguity and "gut check" nature of things like points or even time esti

I think this is a clear win for individual users that have been paying for GitHub. For organizations, I'm curious how many organizations they have just bumped above the $300-500/month mark. A lot of companies allow managers discre

No, but it depends. One thing to remember about technical debt is the concept of interest. Each time you have to go into a part of the code with high technical debt, you pay interest. There is also something to be said for building a v1 MVP

Based on it's shape, it seems the business end of the tube is where the majority of the pressure difference would be created. I suspect that the mask is more to prevent air rushing into the nose/mouth than providing the seal for t

I know that pain. Took me and my wife almost 5 years, near $2,000 and three interviews to get her green card. And that was with her already being in the states when we met and got married. Keep at it. The feeling when it's finally over

Have you ever read the E-Myth books? A fictional character can convey truth just as clearly as any other.

I second Middleman. I've used it for a number of static sites. For responsive layout, I highly recommend Gridism. It's simple and lightweight.

They use campfire so giving anyone access to the chat logs would be as simple as adding them. They could then look at any logged history (almost all of it, unless the room was locked) and search through it however they liked.

There are two points I don't get with such a system. 1) The logic/functions needed in each "black box" still need to be written. How is that handled? Is that where the line of "programmer vs non-programmer" is

I may be echoing others, but I to say to go for it. As for the "gap", this is simple. Start a business. If you're going to be making and selling mobile apps, you'll want a basic corporate entity behind you anyways. Now, instead of being "un

I had this same kind of experience. I taught myself Rails in about a month and then joined a Startup Weekend event. It made me realize just how much I _could_ do. I too went the "freelance" route. I didn't have the experience of taking it o

Indeed! I couldn't agree more. I liken a diverse company to what we see in biology. Diverse colonies of organisms tend to be far more resilient to hardship than homogeneous groups and lead to far greater overall success.

Cool, though I think 20 years of time and however much that cost could have been put toward something that actually helps a fellow human. Maybe build a bunch of smaller houses for poor people instead of a giant houseboat for your stuffed an

I second this recommendation. I've used a number of services. AWS is great for testing. Rackspace is fine too. However, for my everyday usage, Linode is wonderful and pleasant to use.

Where is this "1 collaborator limit"? GitHub has unlimited collaborators on all repositories, private or public.

I believe Peopleware said it best: "Allowing the standard of quality to be set by the buyer, rather than the builder, is what we call the flight from excellence. A market-derived quality standard seems to make good sense only as long as you

One thing most people don't mention about bitbucket is the cost of their plans. Github: $7/mo for 5 repos, unlimited collaborators. Bitbucket: $0/mo for unlimited repos, 5 collaborators max. Then, it starts at $10/mo for 10 collaborators an

Please don't listen to this person's call to use something like the DMCA. You've done the right thing, calling them out. Honestly, Hacker News based magazines (like Hacker Monthly, which I subscribe to and enjoy) cater to a very niche marke
